Welcome to the new ToolsForSurvival.com. We are rebuilding the website from the groundup. On these pages you will find helpful resources to help deal with the uncertainties of the present and the future.

We have been thinking about re-doing this website for quite awhile. Now that we have moved to our land and we are able to begin transforming our dreams of a self-reliant lifestyle into reality, it is time to do it! This website is our way of sharing with you how we got from "there" to "here" and all the steps in between. We'll also be sharing resources and tools that we find useful and relevant news of the day. Initially we are focusing on the following:

• Food sources and storage.

• Water sources, pumping and purification.

• Health - medical and dental access, supplies and first aid.

• Hygiene - toilets, grey water, septic, wetlands.

• Gardening - growing food outdoors, greenhouses, hydroponics and heirloom seeds.

• Energy - renewable green solar, wind, hydro, photovoltaic, transportation.

• Housing Alternatives - straw bale, cob, timber.

• Security - ways to protect yourself and your land.

• Communications - radio systems when all else fails.

• Livelihood - job and business ideas.

• Tools needed for your self-reliant lifestyle.

• Maps for learning more about the land and potential problems and risks where you are or where you want to be.
